“Tchaikovsky Lost & Found”
This first of two listener guides dedicated to Tchaikovsky's tone poems considers
opp. 76, 77 and 78, where we can see a definite pattern in the site’s contents. It goes something like this: After the first performance the composer destroyed the full score, but after his death it was reconstructed from the surviving orchestral parts and published [posthumously].
